Now see, I think the Dave Piper Tribal Collection has the right idea. Instead of getting a real tattoo, hire a makeup artist to put cool details all over your body. If you're like me, your preference for design and images changes daily. I could never decide on a tattoo because every day I would want something different. Plus I think it would be a funny way to really send your friends for a loop.

The actual artistry in the Dave Piper Tribal Collection is amazing. I personally think it looks more professional and more detailed than any real tattoo I've seen before. I think I need to find this makeup artist before I see my parents again. I can just imagine their pleasant faces when I show up with full sleeves.
